I got off an interstate exit one afternoon and just as I passed a car with the hood up the man shorted the battery with a wrench. It exploded in his face and his lady friend screamed. I stopped and forced him to his knees at a water puddle (it had just stopped raining) and splashed water in his face. Fortunately, he knew what I was doing. The lady was screaming, but afterwards wanted to hug me. He was okay, I told him to go to the 7-11 a block away and buy water and rinse down some more.
I always carry some water in the car and also a piece of rope and a blanket, but those are another story!
